Why, yes - of course; that's how pseudo-random number generators work 
;-). they're deterministic, after all (and as often as not this is even 
desired). To get a different result each time, a typical solution 
(outside of cryptographic applications that is) would be to seed with 
the current system time instead of a constant.
